An image of me but my mouth is a cat face, with the text "I'm speaking at GDC 2026" underneath it

I'm speaking at GDC again! I'll be joining @richardrouse.bsky.social's "Rules of the Game" talk, as well as returning for @toiya.bsky.social's "Q&A for New Writers" panel.

I love connecting with narrative design and cinematics folks while I'm out there. Let's hangout!

I do not understand what is going on in this flag.

At all.

Have you seen our video? The three editors discuss what the project means to them, and why writing fantastic fiction in the face of erasure is defiance. Plus, turn on or switch between captions by selecting English or українська. We hope you'll give it a look. www.kickstarter.com/projects/att...

i want to be abundantly clear that this dog is adorable. i also like to assume the gender of dogs so let's go with she/her on this one. She is a very good girl, and clearly the most valued employee at the pet store where she works. She has her front paws up on the counter with a credit card reader in front of her. She is ready to take your payment. i swear to god she's giving a little grin, like "yeah bitch, i know how to participate in capitalism too, you fool."

Oh and here is the cover and ToC!

Photo of a man driving with a dog popping her head into frame from the back seat so that it looks like the man has the head of a dog

This is the best picture I will ever take

A sign that shows a bear and a human hand apparently dropping food in front of it. But it looks like the hand is rolling 4d6. There is a red circle with a slash around the whole thing, indicating that you should not do it.

No playing D&D with the bears.

The demo of the game I worked on with the lovely people at @gutefabrik.bsky.social is back online again! Especially recommended for cat lovers.
